Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXI

DeBord isn't retiring. Going to be the OC at Indiana.

Wow.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

With the first pick in the 2019 draft, the Cleveland Browns select Sam Darnold, USC.

He's draft eligible in 2018.

 

[volssam]

Speculation or his he saying it's done?

Done

 

[Ron Swanson]

We have verified with multiple sources this morning that Mike DeBord is continuing his coaching career as the new offensive coordinator at Indiana. DeBord was set to retire home to Indiana which is why his entire family was in Nashville. This opportunity is the best of both worlds with him calling Indiana home. An announcement is expected in the next 24 hours from the Hoosiers. That puts Butch on the clock for a new offensive coordinator immediately after a two year run for DeBord on Rocky Top.

and Coleman and another freshman to come in.

Yep. Would only go JUCO if we needed a guy next year and/or an elite prospect.

Comfortable with our top 3.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Makes you wonder how this kid didn't start at the beginning of the year...

Hopefully we aren't saying the same thing in 12 months if Butch stupidly decides to start Dormady over Guarantano at the beginning of the season.

Wow.

Not a good look, unless we hire an upgrade (perceived or real)

 

[WarMachine]

Yes you can buy me season tickets next year. Thanks for asking. That would be awesome man

Fail.

 

[WallyBalls]

Hmmm. Interesting.

 

[Aesius]

Yep. I'm sure r/CFB and SECRant will bring up DeBord's PPG and use this as another way to bash Tennessee and Jones, despite unanimously declaring him the worst OC of all time for the past two years.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Helfrich will be hired by the end of the week, IMO. (publicly)

 

[McGeesPub]

Helfrich gonna "visit another practice?"

Lets go for the OG of HUNH himself- CK.

 

[BigZiti09]

You should stop visiting those sites.

Can't disagree. I like JGs game for an offense like this better. I like Dormandys game for the type pf offense that I, personally, would be running of I was the OC but JG is perfect for this one.

 

[WallyBalls]

Bingo.

I'm interested to see the reaction from the clods that harped on the "He wuz cleanin' pools, man!" line.

Hell of an upgrade, if it happens.

Kudos to Butch

 

[RockyTopInBham]

Wow.

Whoa. So now that Debord is out, does Butch keep Mahoney for OL? Promote Walt Wells? Helfrich I imagine is top candidate for OC/QB's, but many hoped Debord could move to Co-OC & OL Coach.

Probably more ammo for the Haney's of the world that our program is toxic.

 

[Aesius]

SECRant is completely unreadable. And r/CFB is full of self-flagellating Vols fans who join in on the circlejerk of making fun of Tennessee.

 

[McGeesPub]

I'm all for keeping Mahoney now.

 

[volssam]

Lets go for the OG of HUNH himself- CK.

Would be awesome. But don't think Butch would go for it. Would be afraid of a fulmer/majors-esque coup

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Give Helfrich anything he wants to come here! Would be a Yuuuge hire!

Now that we know Debord is leaving, we will also need (presumebly, if we fire Mahoney) an Oline coach. Anyone know of any good names to look at?

 

[volsfan_17]

No
